Show suggestions?

lets have Dr. Michael Smith on to discuss the effects of mangosteen and sphaeranthus indicous on fat burning... VERY interesting article in this months life extension... and Dr. Smith is always entertaining and enlightening.

It'd be interesting to hear Mat (or anyone, really) discuss the rationale, mechanisms, and his experimenting with inducing muscle auto****y (auto-fay-gee, correct spelling is apparently censored). From what I understand, it's basically protein fasting to promote internal housecleaning which preserves muscle mass and function. There's an abstract of a study on it here, which is summarized here. Both links are WFS.

Mat Lalonde is amazing, I listen to Robb Wolf and Chris Kresser just so I can hear what Mat has to say. He usually uses research, and not just one study, or a couple of studies, he goes through the whole field. Plus he doesn't limit himself to Paleo, crossfit, or many of those other guys who he is often bunched with. He is the real deal. If only he studied and presented on hypertrophy and getting mean and ripped... oh well I guess we have Layne Norton for that.

Great suggestions so far. I, too, would love to hear more about protein-fasting, and the associated auto****y. From Lalonde or anyone. Weekly, monthly, sporadicly, etc.
I'd love to hear an interview with someone who has made serious strength progress using a smith machine. I, like I assume many here, think they're BS and i use a barbell and a powerrack. however, I'd love to hear from someone who swears by it.

More about Vitamin D. More Mauro Di. Pasquale. More on glycation. Some Robert Lustig. And some more ranting.
Also I'd like to hear more of the metabolic issues discussed as they apply to aspiring superhumans as most experts seem to only think in terms of the average man or woman.

I would like to hear Dr.Mauro Di. Pasquale again. I know he was on the show years ago and I listened to that one. Really would like to hear him again.

He's on next week talking about some new research on DOMS!! I'm traveling this week so running some older shows as BEST OF episodes.. these are great shows worth listening to again if you never heard before..

How about a show, or at least half a show, about the front squat versus the back squat. I know we all know this pretty thoroughly, and there is a ton written about it but I'd still enjoy hearing a thorough discussion about it.
For me, after being backsquat-or-nothing kindaguy for a while, i decided to try fronts for a while just for variety and so i could talk more authoritatively. I have grown to love the front squat, too. Though i do of course admit that its not as great a general growth-promoter as the BS, simply due to the lower poundages. I can manage bodyweight for 5 x 3 working sets at the moment and now I'm going to go back to the BS cuz i wanna add maybe five more pounds bodyweight in the coming months. Anyhow, love to hear in on air and love to hear from the listeners herein the threads. -ben

I know I mentioned this in an earlier post but I thought I should clarify my main question. I started taking Vit D3 after hearing you (Carl) say that you were taking (I think) 5000iu a day and then went on to riff on it's many benefits. I did a bit of research myself and was pretty convinced I should be taking a bucket full as I live in the north of England where it rains all the time and we never see the sun.
This was over a year ago, and I've not suffered any illness at all since taking the Vit D3. I am wondering about the relationship between D and calcium though as I understand that excess D can lead to calcium (which with the raw cream I drink I should have enough of) deposits on sites of bone injuries, and after 20 years of lifting and fighting I'm lumpy enough as it is.

How about a show on programming training like the old time strongmen, obviously I'm think of Brooks Kubik as the guest expert too. As a specific question i'd like to know what sort of frequency is optimal for improvement and injury prevention. I've been following the Hepburn program for about a year now and I'm noticing that my joints aren't bearing up too well. So I was wondering how long an interval between training events (say the squat) can be before the adaptive benefit is lost, for example is squatting once per ten days as good as once per seven.

How about a show featuring Louann Brizendine auther of the books The Female Brain and The Male Brain. I think that would be a very interesting show. Could even be a two parter. One show for the Female Brain and another for the Male Brain.

I actually think the show with the author of the male Brain and the female brain would be a great show aswell

Recently we lost Serge Nubret as well as Tony Pandolfo. Both were known for their astetics. The bodybuilders and the powerlifters of the '70's were unique unto themselves and need to have a show for the, Carl. George Frenn, Mel Hennesy, Bill Kazmeir, Frank AND Christine Zane, even Johnny Kemper were all special people. By the way I used to train with John Kemper in Jersey City---which brings Denie Walter to mind. Don't forget Leon Brown.

It would be great to get Dave Pulcinella back on the show just to hear what's going on with the Raising the Bar series, and if there have been any modifications to the 6 foods that work.

Another idol of mine is Ross Enamait from rosstraining.com, This ex boxer has posted numerous videos on youtube about how you can create your own strength training facility using inexpensive materials found at your the hardware store. An Extremely intelligent and dedicated individual who has re-written the rule book in home strength training.

A show including HRT for women would be an added benefit to the SHR cataloge. We all hear the benefits, effects and hormone design and dosage for men. It would be interesting to get the same for females.

Superhuman radio is like a commercial projection of all of my thoughts and theories about nutrition and exercise. I cant believe I didnt know about this until 2011. I will listen to all the back episodes that I possibly can. Debunks SO many rhetorical premises that are harped on and preached in undergrad exercise and health courses and in the media. I love that every guest is a proponent of evidence based peer reviewed research.

Every episode is extremely enlightening and my only suggestion is to keep this **** going Carl.

Id like to hear some expert opinions on male pattern baldness and the best way to combat it or at least deal with it besides shaving the head. I have thinning hair and i tried propecia and ALL my hair grew back thick within a year.. only thing was some impotency side effects- enough to make me kick the stuff to the curb. I would LOVE to have thick hair again but I just dont wanna deal with those sides. Please run a show on the latest research and alternative ways to get my mane back!
